• Causes GENITAL HSV infections;
latency in the sacral ganglia
• Reactivation occurs most frequently below the waist
• Affect young adults; sexual contact (typical transmission)
HSV-2 INFECTIONS IN HUMANS
Typical transmission of HSV-2 INFECTIONS IN HUMANS
• Affect young adults; sexual contact
Neonatal infections (skin, eye, mouth; encephalitis; disseminated)
(5) causes???
ToRCHeS:
Toxoplasmosis
Rubella
Cytomegalovirus
Herpes (or HIV)
Syphilis
Primary infection:
• Severe, painful genital herpes (lasts 3 weeks), with fever, malaise, dysuria, & inguinal lymphadenopathy
• Neonatal infections (skin, eye, mouth; encephalitis; disseminated)
HSV-2 INFECTIONS IN HUMANS
Painful urination, burning sensation, uncomfortable walking irritated by clothing
• Mostly transmitted when no lesions or symptoms are apparent
• Semen may contain the virus
HSV-2 INFECTIONS IN HUMANS: Genital Herpes
- mild (primary) acute, highly contagious disease of children

Varicella (chickenpox)
reactivation of varicella virus present in latent form in
neurons in sensory ganglia
Herpes zoster (shingles)
sporadic, incapacitating disease of the elderly & immunocompromised
• CXS: Severe pain, numbness, & itchy vesicular rash along sensory nerves (a single sensory ganglion) of head or trunk; postherpetic neuralgia
Herpes zoster (shingles)
